 The instrument of [[Dennis Havlena]],[[Nicolas Bras]], and of [[Bash the Trash]] often have fully fungible parts, and are made as simple as possible to allow for others to be able to easily build a copy of their own.
-The instruments of [[Zimoun]] are an excellent example of a fungible instrument where the use of commercial replication and being fully fungible is conceptually relevant to the work. Though his installations are fine art objects they are made a large swarms of near exact copies, using mostly commercially available materials like cardboard boxes and stepper motors. If any one instrument in a Zimoun installation is replaced with another copy it would be virtually impossible to tell, and in many ways the swarms individual instruments become hard to discern from one another, to the point of being [[Indiscrete]], one could be removed or added and the swarm would still be a swarm. \\

Though his installations are fine art objects they are made a large swarms of near exact copies, using mostly commercially available materials like cardboard boxes and stepper motors. If any one instrument in a Zimoun installation is replaced with another copy it would be virtually impossible to tell and the individual instruments present are not important as a unique object, but instead important when considered in mass as indistinguishable copies of one another.
+==Secondary Meaning===
+As shown above in the Zimoun example these swarms of boxes can be fungible when each individual box is replaced with a separate copy the swarms individual instruments become hard to discern from one another, to the point of being [[Indiscrete]]. Alternatively individual boxes can be removed or added to the swarm would still be a swarm, and this makes the total number of boxes in the swarm fungible as well. This definition is slightly different in that some works can have the overall amount changed and it still is difficult to distinguish the change.\\
+===Indistinguishable===
+Replaced parts being difficult to differentiate from the original is important to the concept of something being fungible. Fungible objects cannot generally have their parts replaced with ones that alter the color, size, material, or shape of the object. The replacement generally needs to be as similar as possible to the original. There can be a scale of how fungible something is, where the more difficult it is to tell the more fungible it is.
 ===NOTES===
- Instruments made with easily replaceable parts or are made out found objects, these are often also Indescrete.
+Instruments made with easily replaceable parts or are made out found objects are often also [[Indiscrete]].\\
-There is a heightened importance with the way the instrument is interacted in with instruments of this kind.
+There is sometimes a heightened importance with the way the instrument is interacted with when it is fungible. \\
